That’s good but the transit authority says that you cannot play down here without a PERMIT!

[Andrew Kalleen:]
No it doesn’t – it says

[NYPD:]
Yes it does.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
No, no it doesn’t

[NYPD:]
It does. I’m not going to argue with you.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
We are arguing.

[NYPD:]
No we aren’t arguing.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
We’ve been arguing the whole time.

[NYPD:]
I’m asking you to put your guitar away.

[Andrew Kalleen:]Source: LYBIO.net
And I’m saying, no.

[NYPD:]
Then you’re gonna be arrested.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
That’s illegal.

[NYPD:]
No (inaudible)

[Andrew Kalleen:]
That’s illegal – it’s wrongful arrest.

I’m not.

[NYPD:]
No. You are leaving.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
I’m not.

[NYPD:]
By force or you’re gonna go out on your own.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
Ok, you can arrest me sir, but I’m not leaving.

[NYPD:]
Get your stuff, you’re being ejected.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
Are – are you gonna put cuffs on me

[NYPD:]
No – being ejected doesn’t mean you’re being arrested, it means you’re getting thrown out of the station. Now get your stuff and lets go.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
I will not.

Tell me your email again?

[Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here]

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war [NYPD interrupted] for a lead role in a cage?

[NYPD:]
Stop. Lets go. Lets go.

[Andrew Kalleen:]
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[Applause]

[Unidentified Female:]
Hey man, tell me your email again?

[Andrew Kalleen:]
andrew.kalleen@gmail.com thank you so much.

[NYPD:]

Wow, what’s the logic here. There’s no reason for this. There’s no reason for this….there are 20 people filming this… can we not give him some money…take the money you might as well.
